Arsenal are off to a losing start to their first Premier League campaign under Unai Emery, as Manchester City eased to a 2-0 win at Emirates on Sunday.

Raheem Sterling was a surprise starter for the Premier League champions, having only returned to training on Monday. But, the much maligned English international gave Manchester City the lead over Arsenal with a fantastic long-range curling effort.

Thereafter, City were in total control of the match, with Arsenal largely being restricted to half chances. The win was then sealed for the champions when Bernardo Silva scored Benjamin Mendy’s cut-back.

Arsenal fans though, were out in hordes talking about the misery continuing despite a new era being ushered in. Some trolls also took their fair share of potshots at the North Londoners after the losing start to their Premier League campaign.

– How can anyone not see the importance of Wingers?
– Ozil & Mhki should move to J-League
– Cech still poor
– Aubameyang = Ghost
– Guendouzi too young for this
– Xhaka is very useless
– Same old Arsenal

45 minutes into the Emery era and you can see a plan, an idea of how this is supposed to work. Worth remembering they’re facing one of Europe’s top sides, playing at a very high level. City are better, that shouldn’t be in doubt. But Arsenal are going about things the right way.

Tough job for Unai Emery. As we saw post Sir Alex at Manchester United, when a coach has been as dominant at a club for so long it’s difficult to impose a different style/mentality. Takes time, which is something coaches are rarely given these days.
